Scala CLI was built to provide maximum flexibility without needless complexity impacting productivity. Could we scale this approach to the majority of commercial Scala projects?

Learn how less can be more in the land of Scala tooling.

Scala is widely known for its complex and slow tooling, which makes build tools even more of a hot topic. The most popular ones are SBT, Maven, Gradle, and Bazel. They are powerful but often too complex for the tasks at hand.

Krzysztof will explore both the functional and nonfunctional requirements to make a build tool suitable for commercial projects. In addition, he will discuss the question of Turing-complete configuration for build tools, extendability and more. With those requirements at hand, the next logical step will be to find a way to build a tool that satisfies them all.
